Our Ohio television
The Our Ohio television show has been nominated for three Emmy Awards for the Midwest region. The series was nominated in the categories for best magazine program, videographer and editing. Awards will be announced July 15.

Growing a Masterpiece
Just a reminder that counties need to return their 18-inch by 18-inch canvases to the state office by July 14. County Farm Bureaus were recently provided blank canvases with the county’s outline so selected local artists could create a painting or other artistic creation that showcases agriculture in each county. The finished creations will be displayed collectively as "Growing a Masterpiece" at OFBF’s Land and Living Exhibit at the Ohio State Fair Aug. 2 to 13. At the completion of the state fair, OFBF will keep the canvases and use them for other displays. The announcement of the "Best of Show" work of art (as determined by votes) will be announced at OFBF’s annual meeting. The canvases also will appear on the Our Ohio Web site for display and voting.

Our Ohio commercials
Three new Our Ohio TV commercials have been produced to promote the brand in general, and the TV series and Web site specifically. In June the commercials appeared on select cable channels (such as Animal Planet and the Food Network) in Toledo, Bowling Green, Athens, Lancaster, Zanesville and parts of central Ohio. Plans are to expand the cable ads to more of the state in the weeks to come.

In addition, as a value added component to the Town Hall Ohio radio program, 30- and 60-second Our Ohio radio ads are airing regularly on that program.
